Northwoods Spirit - "Fleeting Glimpse" by David Wenzel. Sixth plate in the series. Bradford exchange, 1995. Plate size approx 8 inches. Suggested retail $55.00.
The talented young artist who created the Northwoods Spirits plate collection, David Wenzel, once remarked that "I hope to share my appreciation of nature and communicate to the viewer the beauty and importance of our fragile wildlife resources."
And in "Fleeting Glimpse," the sixth and final issue in this series, Mr. Wenzel admirably fulfills his own ambition. A fleeting impression is all we are left with, but what a memorable one! Through a thicket of sturdy birch trees, two pairs of alert, but not at all threatening, eyes follow us wherever we go. Is it really possible that these hauntingly beautiful eyes belong to two gray wolves—those supposedly ferocious predators who have fired up man's fears and fantasies for millennia?
Their gray and white coats blending almost perfectly with the twilight hues of birch bark and dense undergrowth, these wolves—an alpha male and his mate, on their way back to their precious litter—are not shadowy beasts of mythology but beautiful, flesh-and-blood animals bent on preserving their young.
The creation of the fine
plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
